Beating Sony to the punch is SanDisk's new 8GB Memory Stick PRO-HG Duo card. The "Extreme III Memory Stick PRO-HG Duo" touts the most convoluted name in portable flash storage as well as 3x the performance -- 30MBps read and write -- of standard Memory Stick Pro Duo cards. As such, they are perfect for high performance DSLRs and camcorders. Available worldwide in June for $150.
That memory stick would look so good on me..
Well if you can't wear real jewelry for w/e reason I guess a memory stick is the next best thing :/
Now we just need to pop 4 (or more) of these into a SSD and we are rocking! :P
The only problem is... Sony doesn't make any "high performance" DSLRs/camcorders... lol.
Sony's Alpha A700 is getting great reviews and generating good buzz in photography circles. Know what you are talking about before you ever talk about it.
And I though my Sandisk Exreme III 4gb SDHC Card was fast at 20mbps.
Would this work for PSP? It would ROCK!
Now if only Sony would drop the stupid format and embrace the SDHC standard, which typically costs half the price.
half the speed and lest durable mem sticks can be used in colder tempatures which is great for skiing
half the speed and less durrable mem sticks can be used in colder weather
Man, I feel sorry for everyone who has to use memory sticks.
Prediction: Memory Stick is the beta tapes of today. The only difference is that it is an annoyingly slow death.
